Chorus: I wanna hear it again, I wanna hear it again,
The Old Piano Roll Blues.
Sittin' at an upright, my sweetie and me,
We're pushin' on the pedals singin' sweet harmony.
I wanna hear it again, the rinkety-tink,
We cuddle closer it seems.
We kiss a-kiss a-kiss a-kiss away all our cares,
The player piano plays that good old razz-a-ma-tazz.
I wanna hear it again, I wanna hear it again,
The Old Piano Roll Blues.
Interlude: They're the best I've ever heard,
When they play the ragtime jazz,
It makes me wanna cuddle, I wanna honey puddle,
I wanna say "skiddy-woo" and "razz-a-ma-tazz."
It's that ever-lovin' old piano roll
I get a funny feelin' down in my soul
So keep on syncopatin', while I keep palpatatin'
That old piano roll blues.
Chorus: I wanna hear it again, I wanna hear it again,
The Old Piano Roll Blues.
Sittin' at an upright, my sweetie and me,
We're pushin' on the pedals singin' sweet harmony.
I wanna hear it again, the rinkety-tink,
We cuddle closer it seems.
We kiss a-kiss a-kiss a-kiss away all our cares,
The player piano plays that good old razz-a-ma-tazz.
I wanna hear it again, I wanna hear it again,
The Old Piano Roll Blues, you'd better believe it,
The Old Piano Roll Blues.
